Marypark, Moray
★★★★
Home of the Macpherson-Grant family, 16th century Ballindalloch Castle is probably Speyside’s finest castle. Close to the confluence of the Rivers Spey and Avon amongst immaculate surroundings, the grounds include a stunning rockery as well as formal gardens. The grand castle interior, good woodland walks, tearoom and even a distillery (and we couldn’t fail to mention the unexpectedly luxurious toilets!) furnish the visitor with a good few hours’ worth of activities. There are plenty of other worthwhile diversions in the area too though, including the many Speyside distilleries.
